We are not agreed—I beg your pardon. I am afraid that my hearing must be failing.

The result of the division is: For 79, Against 46, Abstentions 0.

Motion, as amended, agreed to.

Resolved,

That the Parliament notes with concern the impact on our livestock industry, particularly the sheep sector, of the recent outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in England; calls on the UK Government to recognise its financial and moral responsibility to reimburse Scotland's farmers; acknowledges the work being done in Scotland to support the sustainability of the Scottish livestock industry and the viability of rural communities; believes that the Scottish Government should introduce additional measures to support Scotland's sheep industry; welcomes the review, to be led by Professor Jim Scudamore and commissioned by the Scottish Government, into Scotland's response to the outbreaks, and recognises the need to reduce the risk of future outbreaks and minimise the impact of future disruption.

I propose that a single question be put on motions S3M-671 to S3M-674 inclusive, on approval of Scottish statutory instruments. As no member objects to a single question being put, the question is, that motions S3M-671 to S3M-674, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on the approval of SSIs, be agreed to.

Motions agreed to.

That the Parliament agrees that the draft Club Gaming and Club Machine Permits (Scotland) Regulations 2007 be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the draft Licensed Premises Gaming Machine Permits (Scotland) Regulations 2007 be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the draft Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Act 1971 (Privative Jurisdiction and Summary Cause) Order 2007 be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the draft Small Claims (Scotland) Amendment Order 2007 be approved.
